Vanished

What do I mean by “vanish”? The term’s meaning is to “disappear suddenly and completely.” Most of us have said or heard the phrase like “vanished into thin air”. But why write about it? Doesn’t vanishing bring to mind scary thoughts and for some folks tragic circumstances? Of course, it does for some.

But the day that I’m referring to will occur sometime very soon across the face of the earth. Family members, friends, neighbors, co-workers will be there one moment and gone in the next. Do not be surprised or deceived by false explanations of alien spacecrafts taking problem-makers away or out-right denials that the vanishings even happened. If this event occurs before your eyes or you hear about it briefly on the national news, that event is known as The Rapture of the Church.

The Rapture (this snatching away) will occur without any advanced notice to the general population. Believers in the Christ will be looking for it to occur, but will not know when. Christ comes to remove His Church from the earth to be at home with Him in heaven. This change will happen in the “twinkling of an eye” or as someone has estimated as eleven one-hundredths of a second (0.11 second). In that moment, the dead in Christ will rise first being transformed perishable (being dead) to imperishable. The body’s condition doesn’t matter whether buried six feet under, or buried at sea, or cremated, or never found. I have parents and grandparents who are waiting in death for this trumpet call of Christ as well as my wife’s parents and grandparents whose lives were wonderful examples of faithfulness in their lives and relationships with others.

No true believer in Christ will miss out on this event; not even the Christian who is in sin – though they may miss out on some of the rewards that follow. Then we who are alive will be caught up with them and changed from mortal to immortal. May I refer you to I Thessalonians 4:13-17 in the Bible.
